Last April a concealed carry permit holder in….Chicago, saved a bunch of people’s lives.
Chicago Trib | Authorities say no charges will be filed against an Uber driver who shot and wounded a gunman who opened fire on a crowd of people in Logan Square over the weekend.
The driver had a concealed-carry permit and acted in the defense of himself and others, Assistant State’s Attorney Barry Quinn said in court Sunday.
A group of people had been walking in front of the driver around 11:50 p.m. Friday in the 2900 block of North Milwaukee Avenue when Everardo Custodio, 22, began firing into the crowd, Quinn said.
The driver pulled out a handgun and fired six shots at Custodio, hitting him several times, according to court records. Responding officers found Custodio lying on the ground, bleeding, Quinn said. No other injuries were reported.
The shooter, Custodio, was carrying illegally, despite Chicago’s strict gun laws which, fortunately for that crowd of people, did not prevent the 47 year old Uber driver from obtaining a carry license in Chicagoland.
